MariaSW - Here is the recipe for the chicken. I cheated and used frozen crab rangoons from the store!

Southwestern Roasted Chicken

~courtobrien

5-6 chicken breasts

1/2 cup olive oil

3 Tbl. chili powder

3 garlic cloves

1 jalapeno (remove the seeds if you don't want it too hot)

salt and pepper

1 Tbl. red wine vinegar

1. Combine all ingredients except chicken in a food processor; pulse until smooth.

2. Place chicken in a ziploc bag, pour over marinade. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour, preferably overnight.

3. Heat a cast-iron skillet to blazing hot. Turn oven on to 350.

4. When skillet is hot, add 1-2 Tbl. oil to skillet. Add chicken, and sear on each side for approx. 3-4 minutes (until there is a really good, brown crust on each side). When done browning, transfer skillet to heated oven and continue to cook for 10-20 minutes, until chicken is done. (Depending on thickness of the breasts.)

5. Remove chicken from skillet; let rest. (Optional: Place skillet back on burner, pour in 1/2 cup white wine (or chicken broth) and stir to remove all bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let reduce for a couple of minutes, pour over chicken.)
